Cognitive theory plays a central role in understanding and treating OCD. The cognitive model underscores that OCD is largely influenced by dysfunctional thinking patterns—specifically, how individuals interpret and respond to their intrusive thoughts.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Develop an understanding of Cognitive Theory principles as specifically applied to the treatment of OCD
• Gain insight into prevalent maladaptive cognitive appraisals associated with OCD symptoms
• Identify and implement evidence-based interventions to modify dysfunctional cognitive appraisals in individuals with OCD
